Haggerston Park

Haggerston Park is in the south west corner of Hackney, bordered by Queensbridge Road, Hackney Road and Goldsmith's Row. The park was developed in two phases - the previously industrial northern half of the site became a public park in the late 1950s and the southern half of the park was fully developed for public use in the 1980s.

The park holds a Green Flag award. The awards are given to the best green spaces in the country and are awarded each year to make sure the quality of the green space remains high.

Haggerston Park user group

Haggerston Park user group meets every six weeks to discuss developments in the park. They work closely with Hackney City Farm to organise events and volunteer days in the park. All are welcome. Email parks@hackney.gov.uk for more information and to join.

Orchard and food growing space

The Haggerston Park community orchard and food growing garden is slowly taking shape. An old fence has been removed, the ground has been cleared and prepared and 200 plants have been planted. So far 180 volunteers have helped prepare the ground, dig holes, fill holes, mulch, turn compost, put up fencing and plant edible plants.
